Bannerman's Castle

Bannerman's Castle is located on Bannerman's Island (a/k/a Pollopel Island) in the Hudson River, a few miles south of the Beacon-Newburgh Bridge. The castle was built as a weapons arsenal by Francis Bannerman VI, a businessman who dealt in military surplus from the Spanish-American war. Today, the island is owned by Hudson Highlands State Park.
